## Supported Industrial Protocols

In-Sight SnAPP supports industrial communications protocols, also known as Factory Floor Protocols and Industrial Ethernet Protocols. These protocols allow you to create an application that can communicate with a compatible PLC across an industrial Ethernet network.

The vision sensor supports the following protocols:

- EtherNet/IP (Rockwell PLCs)
- PROFINET (Siemens PLCs)
- SLMP (Mitsubishi PLCs and MCs)

Note: Only one protocol can be active on the vision sensor.
